Sakura of DOOM

You actually might have seen cloudberry and not known it. It's commonly used as a drought-tolerant ground cover in the PNW and maybe the Bay Area too. It's a creeping plant with dark green, slightly fuzzy leaves, and the berries look just like small yellow raspberries (same genus). There are male plants that never have berries, so they're pretty nondescript, and female plants that have them briefly before the birds notice. I love the berries, preserved or not, though I try to resist picking the ones that grow in parking lots.

Try a Scandinavian-themed store if you can't find the jam -- it's one of our things. (More people seem to like cloudberries than pickled herring, what's with that?)
